VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

June 22nd thru June 24th
9:00 am to 12:15 pm

VBS gives children a chance to learn about God in a fun and unforgettable way! This year Candlelight will transform and immerse itself into an adventure where children will understand God’s love through His Word, fellowship, and the care shown to them by volunteers. Entire families are changed as they witness their children come to saving faith in Jesus!

We are in need of volunteers to accommodate all the children and not turn any soul away. If you feel led to participate in our VBS program as a volunteer, we would appreciate your help. See Trisha in the Children’s Department if you wish to share your time and talents for this year’s VBS. Trisha will give you an application if you wish to volunteer. The children to attend VBS have a separate application that will be filled out online.

No child’s application to attend is 100% confirmed unless the following have been completed and received by CCF.

1. Online registration (Includes medical consent)
2. KID CHECK: CCF uses “Kid Check” – a computer check-in system designed for the safety and security of your child. If you have a Kid Check account with another church/facility, you can use it for VBS. Please note: If you do not have an account, you may sign-up after you submit the online form for your child at the confirmation page. To sign-up online is FREE; doing so in advance will make your child’s first day MUCH easier and faster.

SPRING & SUMMER LADIES DEVOTIONAL HIKE AT CENTENNIAL TRAIL AND TUBBS HILL

Begins NOW!

We officially kicked off our hike/devotional season early and are planning to continue each Tuesday, at 11:30 a.m. We are also going to change locations every other week so that we can alternate flat terrain hikes with the more varying terrain hikes we’ve traditionally taken at Tubbs Hill.

When: 11:30 a.m. every Tuesday, weather permitting

What: A hike with a devotional and return hike. Invite your friends and bring your kids to enjoy the outside, God’s creation, and get some Biblically-advised fellowship. If you like, pack lunch or a snack with some water for our devotional stop. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen and bug spray as needed.

Where: Alternating between:

• Centennial Trail Meet at Riverstone Playground at 1805 W. Tilford Lane, CDA, ID 83814. (From Northwest Blvd., turn into Riverstone on N. Lakewood Drive, take a right onto W. Riverstone Dr., left on N. Beebee Blvd., and right onto W. Tilford Lane. Follow Tilford to the parking lot. We will meet under the awning by the playground.
• Tubbs Hill (uneven terrain) Meet on the Sanders Beach side by the Eastside Park parking lot.

Childcare is available through 5th grade! If you would like to bring your kids to Children’s Ministry at the church before you join us on the trail, contact Trish at kids@candlelight.org. There are some initial forms to fill out (just once) and you will need to secure reservations a week before each hike. Please pack a sack lunch for each child. Check-in begins at 10:45 a.m. so you can get to the meeting place by 11:30 a.m.

Candlelight Christian Core Curriculum (C4)

C4 consists of studies that help bring that Big Picture into focus. It will touch on a variety of subjects that impact how we live our life in Christ. What do I believe? Why do I believe that and can I defend my beliefs? What does the Bible say about: relationships, marriage, parenting, my job or business, my money, government and political issues, the postmodern world I live in today?

We envision that C4 will give even a new believer a solid foundation on which to build – a good overview of the Bible and how to apply it to the issues that face us each day.

• Every Monday Evening
• 6 pm to 7:30 pm in the Sanctuary
• Childcare available from Infant to 5th grade. Contact kids@candlelight.org before each course one week in advance.
• Live Stream not available due to copyright restrictions
